Most Clemson alums, myself included, thought Holtz was a poor choice for USuC’s program. His 1-5 record against Clemson and overall losing mark in Columbia seems to support that sentiment, but Spurrier… I’m not going to make too many jokes about him. He has to go through Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee to win the SEC East, but if anybody can do it…

I know that Spurrier was smart to turn down the Florida offer. If he had excepted and then lost to both Tennessee and Georgia for a couple of years running, who have strong returning programs, then his glorius legacy, not to mention his ass, would have been on the line at Florida. It usually takes more than a couple of seasons to build a bonecrushing program and team, however, the Gator faithful ain’t that patient and a winning season is not going to get it done for them, they’ll always hear the sirens’ song.

The folks at South Carolina are a lot more forgiving of a slow start and Spurrier can build a dynasty there to eventually rival what he created at Florida but with a lot less stress and great deal more flexibility.

When I was playing music on the chitlin circuit every now & then I’d find myself gigging at a pre or post USC game party. It never failed to astonish me to see all those genteel southern belles (young, old & indeterminate) chanting “Go Cocks!”

Some time ago, I had a really nice kite. Black fabric with a white cockatiel on it. It was rather heavy, so when we went out for champagne and kite flying on a fine Spring day, around Denver, I’d tell people…

Speaking as a Georgia fan living in good ol Athens, I’m glad Spurrier is back. What a great nemesis! He kicked our ass for so long, and when he left, I was sad that we wouldn’t have the chance to redeem ourselves. Now we do! Can’t wait.

As a Georgia fan, I don’t like the thought of the evil genius being in my back yard again. BUT if any team deserves to have a string of wins South Carolina does. I think they are the most loyal fans in the SEC and that is saying something.

Ah, this brings back the memories. I’m a Columbia native, USC grad (class of 1990) and lifelong Gamecock fan.

In college, I had one of the bumper stickers from 1984, when the Cocks won their first 10 games. The bumper sticker was a ruler – marked off to 10 inches – with “Our Cocks Grow With Every Win” printed proudly upon it.

I was in the Color Guard my first two years, and thus spent every football Saturday in red-and-black uniform screaming “Go Cocks!” at the top of my lungs. It’s part of the fight song, people.

Our main rivals were the Clempson Tigers, and you can guess the boasts – “Our Cocks can beat your pu**ies anytime!”

The cheerleaders’ uniforms in the 1970’s had “Go Cocks” printed on the back of the panties. I know, because my stepsister was a cheerleader for them, and my stepfather had a close-up photo of her school-spirited ass on his desk. Yeah, try THAT nowadays.

And it all still doesn’t sound strange to me, because I grew up in it.
